Peacable Kingdom
Patti Smith
The great punk bard and revolutionary grandmother shows us the way once more, her thumb on the pulse of the times. She sings about a time when people start to yearn for peace so much that they’ll begin to actively pursue it. Let there not be a civil war but resounding lack of animosity among the people. A perfect performance, part recital, a newfound maturity, and an authentic way of beling in the wolrd make Patti Smith a revered icon for so many. May her thoughts for us all prevail! (SGS)

Khruangbin
“Khruangbin is a three-piece band from Texas, formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Johnson on drums. Taking influence from 1960’s Thai funk – their name literally translates to “Engine Fly” in Thai – Khruangbin is steeped in the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspiration, Tarantino soundtracks and surf-rock cool.” (Bandcamp) The band consists of Laura Lee Ochoa, Mark Speer, and Donald “DJ” Johnson. The trio is known for blending global music influences, such as Thai rock, Iranian pop, and dub, with American soul, rock, and psychedelia. This is the sequel to an album by the same name released 7 years ago.
